What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are the virtually invisible way to get a better smile! These transparent aligners are convenient, removable, and durable, giving you the flexibility to live life on your terms. Plus, they’re custom-made for your specific smile needs.
Simply wear your aligners 20-22 hours a day and switch them out for new ones every few weeks. By the end of your treatment, you’ll be rewarded with a straighter, more functional smile!
Benefits of Clear Aligners
There are many benefits to improving your smile with clear aligners. Bite malocclusions like crooked and crowded teeth, overbites, and underbites can undermine your dental health. Even with good dental hygiene, these conditions cause food particles to get stuck in your teeth and turn into plaque. This can increase your risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and other problems. Plus, jaw misalignments can cause chronic headaches, speech problems, and more.
With clear aligners, you get a discreet orthodontic treatment while getting the benefits of a happier, healthier bite! Some other perks of clear aligners include:
- Nearly undetectable treatment
- Convenient and removable design
- Fewer dietary restrictions
- Fewer and shorter appointments

Caring For Clear Aligners
One of the biggest perks of clear aligners is that caring for your teeth is much easier! All you have to do is remove your clear plastic aligner trays when eating and enjoy all your favorite foods without restriction. Just brush your teeth and put your trays back in when you're done.
Whenever you're not using your trays, be sure to put them in their proper case for safekeeping. That way, you don't have to worry about them getting damaged before you switch to a new set.
Make sure to clean your aligner trays every time you brush your teeth. Beyond that, clear aligners beat out other orthodontic treatments for ease of care!
